Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions: Free Practice Test for Indiana University Students

On February 21st Kaplan will be offering a campus-wide opportunity for
students to take a free practice GMAT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT, DAT, and OAT
administered under simulated testing conditions at the IU Kelly School
of Business.

Kaplan's Practice Test is a terrific opportunity for prospective
business, graduate, law, medical and dental students to answer a
critical question, "If I took the exam today, how would I score?"

Last year, tens of thousands of Kaplan Practice Test participants
assessed their test-taking skills while learning valuable strategies to
help them ace the real test. Since admission to LAW, BUSINESS,
GRADUATE, MEDICAL and DENTAL school is fierce, a high exam score is
crucial to the admissions process.

Kaplan would like to invite Psychology students to participate in the
Kaplan Practice Test Event taking place on the IUB campus on February
21st. To register, students may call 1-800-KAP-TEST today or visit us
online at www.kaptest.com/practice.

Undergraduate Summer Research Opportunity

The Yale Cognition and Development Lab, under the direction of Professor Frank Keil, announces the opportunity for undergraduates to participate in the lab's annual Summer Research Internship. This 10-week Internship involves hands-on research experience and training in the fields of cognitive psychology and developmental psychology.

Responsibility: The Interns will play key roles in ongoing research projects investigating higher cognition, and will participate in planning and developing several new ventures. Specific responsibilities will include developing stimuli, scheduling and running subjects, analyzing data, maintaining lab computer equipment, as well as miscellaneous office and administrative duties.
Interested Interns will also have the opportunity for hands-on experience with statistical software and web site design.

Opportunity: The Interns in our lab tend to be involved in every phase of the research process--a very rewarding experience for all concerned. We strive to nurture competence by giving interns far greater levels of training, responsibility and independence than is customary in most psychology labs. We are also committed to maintaining a relaxed, close-knit team spirit, and a level of excitement and fun about our work. The Internship is a terrific opportunity for motivated self-starters interested in research experience. It is ideally suited for a person seriously considering graduate school in cognitive or developmental psychology.

Focus: This full-time Internship involves research in cognitive/developmental psychology. Our research interests are fairly broad. At a very general level, we are investigating how knowledge is organized, and in how that organization unfolds in the course of development.

**Details**

Open to all undergraduate students.
Full Time Schedule: 35 hours / week
Application Deadline: March 14, 2009
Duration: 10 weeks, June through August
For more information contact the Lab Manager, Kara Gaughen, at
cogdevlab@yale.edu or check out our website at www.yale.edu/cogdevlab/
